Nah, I don't think. It was always going to be Upton with the edge everywhere but potentially runs and then would his bad OBP be decent enough that the difference there isn't enough to give Choo the overall edge.

And since it was a fantasy ranking wager, Choo is #8 and Upton is #196. I don't think there's anything to be happy with there.

I don't care what they do with him, but there is no reason to mess with the lineup right now. They were world beaters with their top 2 hitting combined below .200 and would still be going with it if Heyward didn't have the appendectomy. They're an organization with enough common sense to know that players of their calibre don't keep playing like that. They certainly don't make drastic changes when they're 2 games ahead of the rest of the Majors and two all-stars start the first couple weeks of a season cold.

I don't care about this all that much, but do you honestly think Upton isn't going to get a whole lot better and that Choo isn't going to get a whole lot worse?

I don't really care that much either. I think they'll both be a lot closer to their career numbers than they currently are. That means regression for Choo and improvement for Upton. Still, with that being said, their career numbers are close enough for purposes of this wager that (guessing) if they both have career average numbers from here out this start will be enough to swing fantasy ranking Choo's way.

I think if they play the way they have the rest of their careers, Upton's numbers will be better than they've been the past several seasons. Obviously Choo's regression is a sure thing. Upton will likely improve. If he hits .250 on the season, he's gonna put up big numbers.

So I realize that I have an empty spot on my roster and add Torii Hunter and his game has already started haha. So now I actually ahve to drop someone to pick someone else up. Can I get amnesty on that player so I can pick him up after I drop Hunter?
